MY PRAYER FOR TODAY




Father, I come into Your presence today boldly by the blood of Jesus because You were willing to give Him to rescue me from the domain of darkness.  You have brought me into the kingdom of Your dear Son.  It is through Him that I have redemption, through His blood, even the forgiveness of sin.  Once I was far away, but I have been brought near to You through His blood sacrifice.

Thank You, Father that Jesus, by His own blood, shed on Calvary obtained eternal redemption for me. 

As one of Your Christ followers, I walk in the light because You are the Light.  I have fellowship with other Christ followers and Your blood cleanses me from all unrighteousness.  Cleansed and forgiven! 

Father, You said it is the blood of the Lord Jesus which makes me holy.  I have been made holy, set apart, separated for your good pleasure, purpose, and plan.  I praise You that Your blood purges my conscience from dead works to serve you, for You are the living God. 


I understand that it is through the blood of Your dear Son, that I have been reconciled, (brought near) and that I am at peace with You.  What an amazing truth!  I am at peace with you and I have Your peace ruling in my heart because of the Indwelling Holy Spirit. 

Lord Jesus, it is by your blood and the word of my testimony in You that I overcome evil.  My life is Yours. 

Father, how I praise You that blood was shed for me.  It was a completed once and for all action and through the action I have been given eternal life.  I also have the glorious benefit and security in knowing the truth that I am eternally Yours and no one can snatch me from Your hand.  Kept, cared for, and secured in YOU. 

Colossians 1:13-14, Hebrews 9:12-14, Hebrews 10:19, Hebrews 13:12, Ephesians 2:13, John 10:28, 1 John 1:7, and Revelation 12:11

LAST THOUGHT ON LEVITICUS

Image
  For the first time in many years, I have enjoyed reading through Leviticus.  I have skipped it several times and read on.  This go round, I have sought to focus on some thoughts, words, phrases, or practices that God had instituted for the Israelites and their physical and spiritual well-being.  The Ten Commandments and many of the laws have real practical value for society and the Christ follower today.  The Lord God gave them a standard, a commandment, which is applicable for today, "You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees.  I am the Lord (Jehovah) your God (Elohim).  Keep my decrees and laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them.  I am the LORD."  Leviticus 18:4-5   My concluding thought from Leviticus is this admonition or commandment:  " You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own."  Leviticus 20:26.  Even though spoken to Israel, the truth of being holy is directe

ORDER AND DESIGN

Image
    I do not have OCD, but I do confess that I like order in my home.  Now that I am retired, I am not so much into spotless, but "picked up" and "kinda" clean. (Do not open drawers and closets!) I might go to more trouble when I know I am having company, but otherwise, I remove the clutter that seems to reproduce on its own.   When I began the reading in Genesis in January, I was again taken with the with the orderliness and design of God in creation, and have seen Him use Moses and Aaron to ORDERLY marshal the Israelites to move out of Egypt. How do you move some 600+ males and that is not even wives and children? Animals also?  They have been one year+ out of Egypt, and have been camped at Mt. Sinai where God has given them laws for their spiritual and physical welfare.  God gives Moses the design of the Tabernacle and Moses is able to bring together the workers to complete the Tabernacle.   The clip art at the top is the positioning of the 12 Tribes and the

REHEARSALS

Image
  I wonder how much time do I give to rehearsing God's goodness and how He has intervened in my life to "save" me from myself?  How alike the Israelites I can be, complaining about what goes wrong, how it affects me, and what I lack.  As a Christ follower, I have the Indwelling Holy Spirit to give me remembrance NOT of my complaining and grumbling, but of a recall of God's faithfulness to me.  It is recorded in Psalms 78 and 106 that " They forgot what He had done, the wonder He had shown them", "They did not remember His power--the day He redeemed them from the oppressor...", "They did not remember Your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.", "But they soon forgot what He had done and did not wait for His counsel.", and "They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt...". Contrast with me, God's remembrance: Ps. 106:44-46, "But He took note of their distress
